Captain Curry steps in for Forbes

 

Regular skipper DJ Forbes will remain home after sustaining a foot injury in the Wellington tournament.

 

Veteran Lote Raikabula has been brought into the squad as a replacement.

 

The stand in captain has directed his first piece of leadership advice at youngster Rieko Ioane, who was sensational in last weekend's Wellington tournament.

 

Ioane grabbed much of the attention in New Zealand's successful Wellington campaign, scoring six tries.

 

Curry says he wants him to keep up his inquisitive nature.

 

"Talked a lot throughout the week," Curry said.

 

"There's asking plenty of questions and we had his older brother Akira in there last year, so I think he's talked to Akira quite a lot and he's learnt a lot from him as well."
